Hey,
Sue asked me to post some thoughts around a potential package list to
the list, and start a discussion about what we could have on the
interactive text install media.
Assumptions/Caveats:
- SPARC/x86 have as close to the same package list. It didn't seem
useful to individually
list out packages as a proposal.
- The primary focus for the text based interactive install is
server oriented, and while
GUI apps can be installed afterwards, this certainly fills the
gap of not having a SPARC
based media install (given we don't have SPARC LiveCD)
- Resulting media needs to be re-distributable
- Have not done the analysis of space limitations (CD or DVD) to see
what will fit
- Items marked with * are those that I'm unsure of. They'd almost
certainly the
first to go if there were space issues
- This is just a strawman for discussion. There will be very
obvious omissions that I
didn't think about.
thanks,
Glynn
